Main Idea: We need to hold fast to a steady, faithful God in our doubt!
The promise: God promised Abraham a land, people, and blessing (13) • The promise—five different times (Gen 12, 13, 15, 17, and 22) • The delivery on the promise All centered in his son, Isaac Abraham had to wait 25 years! (15)
The oath: God gave an oath (14) • How an oath works (15-16) Swear by something greater than yourself (16a) • An oath is final for confirmation (16b) God showed the heirs of promise the unchangeable character of his purpose (17a) • Guaranteed by oath: Surely I will bless and multiply you! (17b)
The purpose: So that by 2 unchangeable things (promise & oath) (18) • We who have fled for refuge • Might have strong encouragement • To hold fast to hope
The result: We have hope—sure & steadfast anchor of the soul (19-20) • A hope that enters into the “Holy of Holies” • Where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf • He became a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek
